Cubelli ruled out for the year, while Petti & Sánchez in doubt

Three Los Pumas players that started against New Zealand may not be available to face Australia in their final Rugby Championship match, Tomás Cubelli will not play while Guido Petti and Nicolás Sánchez.

Tomás Cubelli was forced off in the 32nd minute. The Argentine medic staff has confirmed that Cubelli suffered fractured 5th vertebrae. The injury sees him out for the remainder of the year. Officially it is a 2-3 month stand down.

 Second-rower, Guido Petti left the field with time up. Petti went down with a blow to his shoulder.

Sánchez departed in the second half, replaced by Juan Martín Hernández. The fly-half left with an injury to his right ankle. After the game the medic revealed it to have been minor. His involvement against Australia is, nonetheless, in doubt.
